What matters now

  • Solid but not exceptional quality (57/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • The price sits in the upper half of our model range, so the margin of safety is thin.
  • The data supports the verdict: every model runs on fully documented inputs.

Analysis

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA (FRE) currently trades at €43.63, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €32.15, implying the stock looks roughly 35.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of €39.20 per share, and 4 of the 25 models we run sit above the €43.63 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at €16.16, and 21 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA generated revenue of €23.0B at a net margin of 6.4%. Revenue grew 2.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.8%. Net debt stands at €10.3B. Fundamentals as of Sep 1, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €27.44 (bear case) to €48.50 (bull case); at €43.63, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 15% below its 52-week high and 21% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at −7% fair-value upside, at −26%, FRE screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly €1.10 per share, which is 3.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
